    Summary

    Following the death of his brothers Tobirama spirals dangerously into apathy.

    Kill. Obey. These orders have haunted him since childhood. He has been a dutiful son. An obedient shinobi. But there have been parts of himself he has kept hidden from everyone else. The freedom he felt when he realized he could walk upon clouds. The pointlessness and smallness of it all when viewed from high above. The lack of distinction he feels in the pain of those who are called Senju and those Butsuma has deemed enemies.

    His brothers were his tethers, the only ones he cared for, and they are gone. Dead. He had failed them. After Tobirama is responsible for the broken bonds of friendship between Hashirama and that Uchiha, Hashirama won't even look at him. So what is there to hold onto? What is there to keep him fighting? Kill. Obey. He would rather stop calling himself Senju.

    Summary

    He’s twenty-six and he’s bleeding out on the ground and he’s so, so cold.

    But, he’s also twelve and he’s still alive. Still breathing steadily. There’s no blood leaking out of him. And he’s warm, body relaxed under the comforting weight of his blanket.

    He sighs, world-weary and exhausted. Of course it didn’t stick. Only he would manage to screw up death. Again.

    .................

    Waking up in a different universe is supposed to be a sweet deal. Too bad nobody gave him the message. In a world of tailed-beasts and magical eye bullshit, Rei thinks getting strong without them is impossible. But he has to try. If only so he can mess with people and stay alive long enough to continue doing it.

    Summary

    Desmond Miles died saving the world. He did not stay dead.

    Two centuries later, he is four years old in a Japanese orphanage, fluent in a language he's never learned, watching a world he doesn't recognise through eyes that still see in gold and red and the pale blue of people who can be trusted. He has no mission. He has no Brotherhood. He has, apparently, a great deal of time.
    He uses it to keep a quiet eye on things — until a three-year-old with red eyes and a broken past arrives at the orphanage, and Desmond makes the only choice that has ever come naturally to him: he puts himself between the kid and everything that could hurt him.
    It turns out that's enough to build a life on.

    A slow-burn found family story spanning twenty years, ending precisely where My Hero Academia begins.

    Summary

    Kim Hajin is a failure. There's no two ways to look at that objective truth. It's a truth that resonates through how others look at and ridicule him. It's a truth that echoes infinitely inside his head, compounding and doubling down on his inadequacies. It's a truth, despite the unconditional love of two parents that soothe but cannot dispel those haunting doubts.

    Kim Suho is simply perfection. The desperate vessel and ideal of Hajin's "ifs" and wishes. Because Kim Suho, the protagonist of Hajin's novel, is everything Hajin wants to be for his parents and more. But, that story falls apart at the seams the same way Hajin has lost faith in himself.

    Yet, as the common narrative dictates, everything begins anew with an innocuous email requesting to remake Hajin's novel.

    ***

    Alternatively, the extremes of Korean culture break Kim Hajin into someone who feels much more acutely, and everything shifts to the left.
